How to Get Candle Wax off a Textured Wall

Removing candle wax from a textured wall is a very fast and simple process. There can be nothing worse than having a beautiful candle accidentally knocked over and splashing wax onto a complex surface. However, the wax can be removed without damaging the wall.

Step 1 - Let it Dry

Let the wax dry before you try and remove it. It will be easier to remove once it has been heated up again so do not worry about any immediate cleaning methods.

Step 2 - Apply Heat

Once dry, apply heat over the wax by using a small paper bag and a hair dryer. All you have to do is cover the area of wall you will be heating with the bag and slowly apply increasing levels of heat. This will cause the wax to melt and become loose before attaching to the bag. Remove the bag and the wax should be gone. Repeat the process with a fresh bag if there are still some specks of wax left.

Step 3 - Wipe Down

Take a large dusting cloth and wipe down the surface of the wall with a reasonable amount of pressure. Make sure the cloth is dry, otherwise it will fade the color of the textured wall.
